I'll get it up as soon as possible tomorrow.Ģ016_11_17 I'm catching up on grading, so you'll see a bunch of grades update in the next four days. I want to get the assignment up for Maps 2, but my brain is done.

It's 10:15 pm on Friday night and I've been grading and creating assignments since my kids went to bed around 7. This discussion did a great bit to lift my spirits. It's been a tough week as I struggle to grade and respond to increasingly panicked emails about grades. Most of the class offered robust and honest posts and engaged each other in a way I wish I could distill and spread to all my online discussions. For your information.Ģ016_11_29_ I just graded the Week 14 Discussions and wanted to applaud your efforts. I think the exhibits could be great, with a great bit of work.Ģ016_12_7 I'll have feedback and grades on your outlines posted by this afternoon, giving you one week to revise your work for your final exhibit. Some strong and interesting topics thus far. You have access to all sorts of credible information through our Library website. That means no sources designed for children (which won't include sex, violence or politics) no sources that lack a signed author who you can determine is an expert and no wikipedia or Britannica. Y had an impact on this specific region in this specific time, and it turns up in everyday life like z."ĪLL sources must have a credible Publication, Institution, Author, and Sources. You say, "I'm doing this web exhibit on X and it's cool because Y. To shrink your thesis to exhibit size, think about a conversation with a friend over coffee. A number of students offered thesis that talked about industrialization or the slave trade matttered. A common issue is narrowing the thesis to something manageable and accessible. I will continue responding to emails and guiding your final assignments, I just wanted to get this grade post up before the weekend.Ģ016_12_7 I graded the Outlines and gave feeback. Grades reflect what you turned in, and only that. Grades are not a measure of intelligence, ability, or my afinity for you.

Grades are a measure of your performance on a set number of tasks over the course of four months.

Once grades are in I must fill out a paper form to change it, and I can change it 5 minutes, 5 weeks, or 5 years after it's been submitted. That is to say, please do not call in the middle of the night fearing a grade will be permanently on your record.

I own all the grades (it's a weird college thing) so I can change your grade anytime.

Please consider your communication carefully when asking for regrading.

I am willing to discuss individual assignments, but not the final course grade.

Your class citizenship grades are based on your participation in discussions and respectful behavior towards other students.

I have never had a technical error reveal a failure of D2L that resulted in a grade change.

Technical errors (as in, "I know I submitted that to the Submission folder, but it's not there now") will involve a longer discussion that goes beyond when grades are due.

Data errors (as in, "I submitted that assignment and can see it in the Assignment Submission folder, how come there's no grade?") are easy to fix and I welcome your emails.

I do this after I've complete the major grading (see above).

I will soon switch D2L from showing blanks in the gradebook as null values (not calculated) to registering those as zeros.

I will submit your grades sometime before that.

Final grades are due by faculty on December 20th at noon to the Registrar.

Please read the following before viewing your grades or emailing. Thank you!Ģ016_12_9 I'll start to post the assignment and class I'm grading right now on my blog starting on Saturday. I would link to it here, but the survey can only be for students in our course.

You can access it from the front page of our D2L course or in the quizzes section. We'll use D2L to submit assignments, discuss, and view grades.Ģ016_12_14 Once you've turned in your final assignment, please login and participate in the survey of instruction.
